Nehemiah 13:11 in Context — Nehemiah 13
9 j’ordonnai qu’on purifiât les chambres, et j’y replaçai les ustensiles de la maison de Dieu, les offrandes et l’encens.
10 J’appris aussi que les portions des Lévites n’avaient point été livrées, et que les Lévites et les chantres chargés du service s’étaient enfuis chacun dans son territoire.
11 Je fis des réprimandes aux magistrats, et je dis: Pourquoi la maison de Dieu a-t-elle été abandonnée? Et je rassemblai les Lévites et les chantres, et je les remis à leur poste.
12 Alors tout Juda apporta dans les magasins la dîme du blé, du moût et de l’huile.
13 Je confiai la surveillance des magasins à Schélémia, le sacrificateur, à Tsadok, le scribe, et à Pedaja, l’un des Lévites, et je leur adjoignis Hanan, fils de Zaccur, fils de Matthania, car ils avaient la réputation d’être fidèles. Ils furent chargés de faire les distributions à leurs frères.
